Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "GOP Civil War: Gaetz Tries To REMOVE McCarthy | The Kyle Kulinski Show" video.
Its what you have in democracies where there is NOT a clear mandate by one party having a clear majority OR you don't have strong leadership. When parties only have a slender majority they're always at risk having a small faction within them with the BALANCE OF POWER and those who hold it can often hold their nation to ransom. I'm Australian and we have had this problem here at times. Countries like Israel, Greece and Italy are notorious for having minor parties wield enormous power this way. The Tea Party were the last to do this in a big way in America, but more recently we saw it with Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin all through Joe Biden's first 2 years. The only way to get past it is with STRONG LEADERSHIP. Sorry but neither Joe Biden or Kevin McCarthy are strong leaders, they got where they are through sweetheart deals. Its grating to say it but Trump was and still is a person who's strong enough to bully and muscle his way in politics and get people to do what he wants. Think of how they all folded - Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham,... etc. One of the few exceptions was when Mike Pence refused to delay the vote counting. I hate to say it but this is why people tend to vote for scum like Trump. YES they know he's scum but they don't care because all they know he can bully all the other spineless clowns and get stuff done. Tragic as it was a lot of people around the world predicted Trump would beat Hilary, but what it also did was motivate millions of American's to get off their asses for a change and vote against him. The next POTUS is going to decide the fate of the western world. Either they will be strong enough to drag clowns like Sinema and Manchin and just roll right over idiots like Gaetz and MTG or the next 2-3 decades are going to be very rough for ALL OF US.

You are 100% right. This has always been an issue with Leftists they try and negotiate with EVERYONE and in trying to keep everyone happy they make too many compromises. Its what I call Kumbaya politics and its nonsense. There are times when compromise is needed but there's also times when you have to bluntly tell people "NO this is how it is!" Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin understand this. Trump really understands this and its a major reason WHY his base voted for him in the first place. IT DOES NOT EXCUSE that they voted for Trump him but the complete failure of BOTH the GOP and Dems to offer them something other than bashing them with more NAFTA, more globalisation, drowning them with even more debt and sending more jobs to China explains an awful lot. This is not an American issue either. People like Putin, Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping, Vitor Orban, Benjamin Netanyahu and others all do similar things and its why they keep getting elected. People like leaders who can make decisions and they will even forgive or ignore the mistakes because they hate leaders who don't lead.
